As you look into window treatment options for your home, you may opt for curtains, since they offer privacy, beauty, and control over the amount of light that enters your space. When it comes to custom draperies, there are many options available that have functional and aesthetic benefits. Here are a few popular curtain materials and their perks.

4 Materials for Custom Draperies

1. Silk

Silk curtains are heavy, and they add a luxurious, romantic ambiance to any space. Since these curtains are delicate, line them with wooden shades or panels to prevent sun damage. Alternatively, you may want to invest in faux silk because it’s more durable and safer to launder at home.

2. Linen

Linen is a durable, semi-sheer fabric that allows plenty of natural light into your home. These drapes have a beautiful, billowy look that works well in bedrooms, kitchens, and dining areas. Add wooden blinds or shades for increased privacy and light cancellation.

3. Lace

Custom draperies in lace add a touch of elegance and old-world charm to home interiors. They’re mostly sheer, which means they make rooms feel more open and spacious. This material is also ideal for areas that could use more natural light and don’t require as much privacy, such as sitting rooms or libraries.

4. Blackout

Blackout curtains are completely opaque, and they can cool rooms that receive too much heat from natural sunlight. This type of curtain is also ideal for bedrooms as it can create a darker ambiance that’s better suited for sleeping.
